0:00.0	The
0:07.0	The In today's missing, we have part two with Richard Price, the man who did a deep dive into the murder of Holly Perinian on his own podcast called Holly's Been Taken.
0:44.6	Lance, what did you think of this conversation?
0:46.3	Well, I think it definitely warranted a two-parter.
0:49.0	The way Richard pieces together, the disappearance, the way he pieces together the whole story and presents it to the listener.
0:57.7	When he did it on this show in particular, we were captivated.
1:01.4	And I'm sure the listeners are going to be captivated by part two.
1:04.3	But the podcast that he has, really unbelievable work that he's done, it is one of the most genuine podcasts that I've heard in a while,

1:22.6	and left it out there for the public to consume.
1:25.1	He wasn't trying to get on the Apple charts or anything

1:52.0	So those two areas come up quite a bit in this conversation.
1:57.0	And really we're right in the weeds, right in the thick of the story and the persons of interests when we start this conversation in part two here with Richard.
2:08.4	And if you haven't listened to part one with him, I suggest you go back and listen to that before you continue here because in fact we're really right in the
2:18.3	middle of our discussion about Rodney Stanger, who is quite a person of interest in this case
2:25.2	and Molly Bish's case as well. Okay, so stick around to the end of the conversation.
2:32.7	Lance and I will return for some quick final thoughts.
